"Neo Geo" Cocktail...
<< < (2/2)

that's it. not much more wood, and a lot more comfort/visibility.  If you want to make a sit-down, you should take measurements from a candy cab and design a woody from them.  it should be basically a shorter, thinner lowboy with a shelf CP. 

any of the three ideas are good, but the lowboy will have a lot of history on its side.  they're easy to make, and there are a bunch of plans available.  the other ones you'll be trailblazing, even if in a small way. 

I still kinda like the idea of the tilted screen inside the cocktail - - definitely unique...  i don't believe i've ever seen anything like that.  the angles would be something you would really want to think about - - draw out, etc...  but i think it would be really rewarding.

The monitors in Joust cocktails are tilted and the effect is really nice. I never experience any fatigue (and my son likes to play for hours on end) as I do on my 3-sided MAME cocktail.

I will be posting some pics soon in the Joust Cocktail Plans thread that may come in handy here

Cheers.

I have no problem trailblazing, I have lots of experience in cad (traditional and "sketchup"). I would model the cab 100% before even thinking of building it, just to know that it would work fine.

Sitdown for me in not a prereq, but a smaller cab is... and btw, at 6'6" nothing for me can be built from "plans".

For a decicated NEO GEO this may win... just need to decide on JAMMA single slot of 4/6 slot NEO GEO build...

I did not know that.  I was wondering how those could be comfortable....
